Medina Falls
Medina Falls was kind of an obscure waterfall we took a brief detour for while driving from Albany to Niagara Falls. Perhaps what made this waterfall experience memorable was that Oak Orchard Creek…
Rainbow Falls (Ausable Chasm)
Rainbow Falls in Ausable Chasm was a powerful segmented waterfall with a reported height of 91ft. Prior to our visit, we were warned about the steep price of the paid tours and that we would be…
Kaaterskill Falls
Kaaterskill Falls was an impressive two-tiered waterfall in the Catskill Mountains said to have a cumulative drop of about 260ft, where the upper drop was said to be 175ft. We were curious about…
High Falls (Chateaugay)
The High Falls on the Chateaugay River drew us with its impressive three- or four-tiered 120ft drop as it progressively fanned out wider the further it dropped. Since we decided to drive from…
Chutes de Plaisance (Chutes de Moulin)
The Chutes de Plaisance (also known as Sault-de-la-Chaudiere; not to be confused with Les Chutes de la Chaudiere near Quebec City) was a wide and powerful series of cascades tumbling within a…
Hog’s Back Falls (Prince of Wales Falls)
Hogs Back Falls (or Hog’s Back Falls; also called Prince of Wales Falls) was one of two waterfalls we visited within the municipality of Ottawa. This waterfall was pretty much an urban waterfall…
Rideau Falls
Rideau Falls was the other waterfall we visited while touring the capital city of Ottawa. What made this waterfall (actually a pair of waterfalls) stand out in our minds was the view of downtown…
Chutes de Sainte-Ursule
Our Chutes de Sainte-Ursule experience contrasted our experiences of other waterfalls in the province of Quebec in many ways. For starters, it felt far less developed around this falls as the only…
Chutes Dorwin
Chutes Dorwin (Dorwin Falls) was a stopover waterfall for us as we took a detour heading towards the city of Montreal towards the tail end of our long drive west from Quebec City. Since it was only…
Chutes de la Chaudiere
The Chutes de la Chaudiere were an impressive set of segmented waterfalls about 35m tall falling side by side to each other. One thing that made our waterfalling experience here quite different…
Chute Montmorency
Chute Montmorency (or Montmorency Falls) was one of those waterfalls where we had to take the good with the bad to truly appreciate it. It had to have been one of the more memorable waterfalls…
Chute Sainte-Anne
Chute Sainte-Anne was an enjoyable waterfall experience for the whole family for many reasons. Not only were Julie and I pretty mesmerized by the 74m drop over several twisting and thundering…
Moxie Falls
Moxie Falls was the last waterfall amongst the New England states that we visited before we crossed over the border into Quebec, Canada. It was a very appealing waterfall because it had a force…
Dunn Falls
Dunn Falls seemed to be one of those waterfalls where I really had to work to see. Even though our sampling of waterfalls in the state of Maine was very small, I somehow got the sense that this…
Snow Falls
Snow Falls was actually an unexpected waterfall we stumbled upon on a day when we had to improvise our itinerary after the US Government Shutdown nixed our plans to go to Acadia National Park…
Arethusa Falls
Arethusa Falls was perhaps our favorite waterfall in the White Mountain area, and it might quite possibly be our favorite waterfall in the New England area so far. The falls was tall at a reported…
Silver Cascade
Silver Cascade was one of the few true roadside waterfalls we managed to see during our New England trip in 2013. Given its ease of accessibility, Julie and I remembered seeing numerous other…
Ripley Falls
Ripley Falls was one of the more unique waterfalls I saw in the New England area. What differentiated this one from most of the others was that it featured a slide that somewhat twisted on its way…
Glen Ellis Falls
Glen Ellis Falls was an attractive waterfall that I tried to squeeze in late in the day while the sun hadn’t quite set yet. Even with my late start on the hike just before 5pm in October, I was…
Crystal Cascade
Crystal Cascade was perhaps the one waterfall that totally exceeded my expectations. It was a two-tiered waterfall that possessed a shape and character about it that made it very photogenic…
